Zondo, Ramaphosa deny collusion on release of state capture report: The chief justice said the delay of almost a week was caused by fact-checking the fifth and final chapter of his report
Chief Justice Raymond Zondo said on Tuesday that the delay in handing his report on the state capture scandal to President Cyril Ramaphosa was caused by his insistence that he needed to fact-check it a final time, and denied that there was any political meddling regarding his findings.
In a separate statement issued late on Monday evening, Ramaphosa’s office said it wished to stress, “to avoid any confusion or misunderstanding”, that he had still not received any form of copy of the final report of the commission. “In the morning of the 20th of June 2022, President Ramaphosa and Chief Justice Zondo held a brief telephone call in which the chief justice offered reassurance on the delivery of the report and discussed the coordination for the handover ceremony.”
